1. Fenton and Long airfields
are about 90
miles from Darwin so am unsure how the above Fenton
and Long raids could be attributable to
being called a Darwin Raid. Perhaps they bombed Darwin on
their trip down to or
back from Fenton. Strauss, Hughes and Livingstone are between 21 and 25 miles
from Darwin. Batchelor, Gould, Pell and Coomalie Creek are nominally 45 miles
from Darwin.

2. Brock's Creek is a small
mining town in the Northern Territory, south of Darwin about 4 Kms off the stuart
highway 49 Kms south of Adelaide River
near Fenton and Long (where the USAAF's 380th Bomb Group, comprising
four squadrons of B-24s, were stationed 1943-44). The Japanese used
the name, Brocks Creek when Tokyo Rose was broadcasting propaganda
to the Americans. It is also used the name Brock's Creek in the 1989
book "Japanese naval aces and fighter units in WWII" by Hata and
Izawa. Units located at
Brock's Creek 1942-45 most were mostly Army such as 13 Detention
Barracks and 77 Platoon Bulk Issue Petrol and Oil Depot (BIPOD)
which supplied aviation fuel to Fenton and Long via an underground
pipe line. There was also an Army Supply Depot at Brock's Creek.
There was quite a complex railway system at Brock's Creek.
